Awesome!! Beautiful spider - thanks for sharing!! As an artist and naturalist, I LOVE seeing critters!! We get the huge golden silk spiders here in Florida and they build some massive webs in the woods. We also have wolf spiders and they are very large and hairy, but they love to feed on palmetto bugs which are nasty, so I live the wolfies. I had one living in my house for a few months and named him Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. My best friend has arachnophobia and refused to come over until Wolfgang was gone. Alas, my cat killed him in the hallway a few weeks ago so now my best friend will come visit again. The other day DH and I were riding our bikes at our local park when I yelled out “turn around!” A big, beautiful scarlet red dragonfly was lying on the bike path, deader than a doorknob. I collected her for a studio specimen (I like to draw and paint nature and have a variety of insect specimens - and I am absolutely anal about every wing and leg being correct!). That is why my DH keeps ziploc bags in our bike bags! I also remember running into big spider webs when I had horses - I always made sure that I wore a cowgirl hat with a wide brim just in case!
